Ugh. Head was spinning five minutes into D&D. And I’d been looking forward to that. 😞

"Kennedy, in a bestselling 2021 book, explicitly rejected germ theory...in favor of 'miasma theory,' which pediatrician and vaccine inventor Paul Offit describes as 'a long-abandoned medical theory that holds that diseases are caused by poisonous vapors.'" 👇

Counselor: These feelings of "everything sucks," how long have you had them? Butt-head: Uhh, since everything started to suck, I guess.

Here it is, your moment of zen.

I got a tattoo in my best friend’s handwriting before we actually met in person. We’d known each other since the spring of ‘08, we finally met in spring ‘25.

Worth every second of the wait. All because someone was offering beta reading services.

funny how you can meet someone randomly online and they become such an important part of your life

6-8 weeks, they say. Can’t drive until at least two weeks from tomorrow.

Dumbass Rae is also starting a new draft today. 😂

Ow.

Of COURSE I bought Spatula the polyhedral die treat dispenser.

I loved getting the lore. Especially for something like one of my favorites, Golden Sun. Or any RPG.

For reference, they straightened a bunch of the bones in my left foot and fixed the bunion that was coming back.

Nerve block is wearing off, so my foot feels like it’s in a vise. And then I somehow instinctively flexed the toes the operated on and fuuuuuuuck.

Diablo II.

Gov. Ivey: Please Grant Clemency to Charles "Sonny" Burton Who Faces Execution Despite Not Having Killed Anyone The State of Alabama wants to execute Charles "Sonny" Burton for capital murder. But Sonny never killed anyone. The identity of the shooter, Derrick DeBruce, was never in dispute. However, Alabama al...

I just signed a @uscedp.bsky.social petition: Gov. Ivey: Please Grant Clemency to Charles "Sonny" Burton Who Faces Execution Despite Not Having Killed Anyone. Sign here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/go...

the ghostly remembrance of a friend never made, passed briefly in a hallway years ago

When the Homerpalooza episode of the Simpsons aired in 1996, Pink Floyd's Animals (referenced by the floating pig balloon) was 19 years old. That's like a Simpsons episode today making a joke about the National's Boxer or Kanye West's Graduation.

I have it and can’t use a CPAP because they give me panic attacks. 😅

They have the Inspire thing, and my ENT does it, but I’d have to shell out tens of thousand for another sleep study because my valid on says “CPAP needed”.

I am aggressively commending the entire staff I was in contact with over today’s surgery. Phenomenal job, including an anesthesiologist who might have become the health professional I admire more than any other.

FYI: I'm participating in a grassroots campaign in my city to recall the MLA who has sponsored anti-trans legislation and supported other harmful bills (@recallmickey.ca). My time as Chace Verity will be limited through March 17, 2026, when our petition ends. Please be understanding!

Two panel comic: Panel 1 shows a white male, Joker from the Mass Effect series, on an inclined skateboard on some sort of metal surface, saying “Hi, I’m Jeff “Joker” Moreau, welcome to “Jackass.” Panel two is a skeleton broken into several times of the number of pieces it’s normally subdivided into, as Joker has Vrolik’s Syndrome and breaks bones on a whim.

lol

I am surprisingly lucid for “was in an OR six hours ago.”

wait did Milano cookies not even release a special Cortina Olympic flavor for these events?? Do I have to think of everything around here????

“the democrats are the most pro-trans party in the world” okay and they are still massively transphobic???? is this supposed to make me feel better

Not on here much, but @raedmagdon.bsky.social is a brilliant author, my best friend, plus her handwriting is part of my ink. There few people who’ve influenced me as much, in any way. Also traded me two signed books for visiting my favorite pizza place. 😂

And yes, she’s part of why I picked Rae.

@raenbow.xyz lol Rae is chatting on BlueSky with Rae and texting with Rae. 😂

Can Rae tell Rae is extremely drugged? 😂😂😂

Take care of yourself. 💕

Yeah. Normal. If I hadn’t bought the croissant next door with my latte, I probably could have, it was like only a couple quarters more. lol

And just foot surgery. Something I’m used to.

Well, I have a new year’s kiss and drinking beer at home as the endings to last year’s stories.
